Executive Summary
TEXAS LIFTS BAN ON SALE OF EPHEDRINE-CONTAINING PRODUCTS to individuals under age 18 on June 1. Texas Department of Health Commissioner David Smith agreed to "set aside" a May 12 order "limiting the sale of ephedrine, or its salts, optical isomers, or salts of optical isomers to persons 18 years of age or older." The decision followed a request by the state Bureau of Food & Drug Safety and the Nonprescription Drug Manufacturers Associate to lift the ban. Prior to the decision, Austin courts had twice stayed the order.
